I bought this Igloo for one reason, the beach. Other coolers throughout the years were a total pain on the beach. You either had to carry the entire weight or drag a full cooler through the sand, making the work even harder. This Trailmate Journey 70qt is phenomenal. Easy to pull through sand, easy on the back with the raised wheels and skids. Easy to access everything inside, upper storage rack keeps things cold that can't get wet. Butler tray on the handle is SO handy on a beach day. Storage on the outside for sunscreen, wet wipes, etc. Dry storage for keys, wallet, etc. means I don't have to a separate bag. Or, have those things fall to the bottom of a beach bag making them impossible to find when you really need them. Umbrella stake holders worked perfectly. Tie down hooks worked perfectly with my bungee cords for securing lots of items that didn't have to be hand carried. This cooler just makes our outings easier, so we can enjoy time with the family more. Thanks Igloo for such an amazing product.

This thing is a beast, just recently got it and I've only taken it out for use once so far but it kept all my goodies cold and ice didn't melt the whole weekend. Definitely helps to pre-cool it before and you should be good. Wheels work great and so does the handle and the fishing pole holders are a huge plus.

Came with a broken handle. Still waiting for a new one. Pretty sure this handle will be a constant problem. Might return the whole thing I’d handle doesn’t show up soon. Also seems pretty heavy when it’s empty, I can only imagine the weight when it’s full. Looks really cool though.

People see me pulling my new cooler and more than half ask where did I get it from! It is very flexible with all of its features and does a great job of keeping contents cool. The ice does last longer than with my prior cooler so i never have to worry on my fishing trips or beach visits.

First day using it and have no complaints at all. Ice hasn’t melted at all after the first day we will see tomorrow. Strange but cool that we got complemented on our cooler at our hotel. Very versatile and great price compared to others on the market.

First use of the cooler and I was not disappointed. Worked as advertised and once the cooler was cooled down the ice stayed frozen. I was concerned by reviews that said it did not keep the ice for 4 days but I’m assuming those reviews did not account for putting warm product in that melted their ice. Probably left it in the sun as well.

I really like the cooler and have gotten many compliments and questions about it. Myself and those who have questions agree that it is great for a large family or long outing, but a quick day trip to the beach for empty nesters needs a cooler about 1/3 the size smaller. Also, the wheels need to be enclosed and not open on the inside, the sand piles up on the inside of the wheel. Sadly, one of the 4 metal pins that connects the black handle to the silver telescoping part of the handle has fallen out. I am hoping that does not effect the function of the handle.

This cooler is awesome! Tho a little large, it will be perfect for my beach vacation with its great wheels (plow through sand) and the design which keeps the cooler elevated off the hot sand. Capacity is incredible and IGLOO has thought of every litte detail to make it's use more attractive. Incredibly fine quality. Can't wait to put it to the test!

It looks great and seems sturdy. Took camping recently for 4 days and was disappointed on how long it held the ice. Had to refill on second day and that is with minimum opening. The tray on the lid will not stay in place. But I still like the look and it was easily to move around.

Nice size - big. The handle was broken when it arrived as it would not release the latches on both sides. After a call to customer service, a new one was sent out and I was able to fix it. The seal on the lid could be tighter - maybe with a rubber gasket. And the plastic latches are too weak to take any real force from bungees.
